Apollo Gradient Mens Mountain Bike

The Apollo Gradient Mens Mountain Bike is a striking looking bike with the green paintwork against the black, as well as the obvious suspension and mechanics. It looks like a bike that is ready to hit the toughest trails and give riders a good time.

The use of the lightweight aluminium frame, full suspension in the front and back and 26’’ alloy wheels help. There is the promise of great handling and maneuverability here. Is this the case, or are some riders left disappointed?

This Apollo Gradient Full Suspension Bike has a lot going for it in terms of the performance and components offered.

There are a lot of talk from happy buyers about the responsive nature of this full suspension mountain bike. The specification promises mechanical, responsive disc brakes, and many agree that they provide a reliable, smooth stop as needed. This idea of great responses continues with the gears. There are 21 Shimano gears here, and some say that they appreciate the smooth flow through the transitions.

These responses from these great components help to ensure that this is the enjoyable ride that people are after. The free wheel 7 speed cassette and chain help too.

This is a sharp, speedy mens bike that many can handle with use, partly down to that full suspension, which is soft and appealing. Users enjoy taking this out to the hills and trails whenever they get a chance. Thar quick release front wheel definitely helps there.

The problem is that there are cut corners on this Apollo Gradient Full Suspension Mountain Bike when it comes to the comfort and finishing touches.

The biggest concern with this Apollo mountain bike is the comfort level. Like many mountain bikes, the seat with this model is quite hard. Comfort is subjective, but the number of people mentioning this in their reviews is noteworthy.

On top of that, some say that the grips are not that comfortable either. Some say they needed gloves in order to ride it for long periods. There are also some reports of the brakes squeaking a bit, which can get annoying, but this isn’t quite as common. Overall, the quality is there in most components, but is lacking in the finishing touches of the seat, grips and cheap pedals.

What does this mean for a final verdict on this Apollo Mens Trail MTB ?

Some say that this is an upgradeable bicycle with room to grow. This is appealing to those that like to customise what is otherwise a decent starting point. Yet, others say that this is overpriced, with so many cheaper components.

In the end, it is a matter of preference and previous experience with other bikes. Some will love the quality of the ride and major components of this Apollo Gradient Mens Mountain Bike enough to overlook those little annoyances.
